The Stahl-Tek DAChttp://www.stahltek.com/vekian_da.htmKeith, what is interesting is that you claim “greater resolution” and “presence” - would you please explain what does it mean?The Cat...

I learned about this sw package, ETF. http://www.etfacoustic.com/index.htmlIt includes MLS and sweeps response measurements, RT/60, 1/12 octave resolution, etc. These are the functions I'm interested in. I'll give it a try.Anyone us...

Last nigh I spend a couple hours to listening this thing. Since the amp is done in design phase and the final parts are still in order I can not finish it and close up – it kind of frustrating… Still, it gives opportunities to listen it knowing that ...

In addition to Peter Foster's idea, you might find someone who knows about electron microscopes. I know almost nothing about them but would imagine that power would be critical to their performance. I think Xiaowei Zhuang is the ramrod ar...

I was asked a few days ago what I think about Zandèn new CD player and I replied that I do not think about it.
Truly, those companies produce new models each 18 month to initiate new rounds of cash extraction from clueless, deaf and blind audi...

I did not have time to read the articles carefully, but:"The IDAT’s D/A conversion stage is also unique.""In the IDAT, two DACs per channel are used for each half of the balanced data signal instead of one."...the very idea of balancing DAC's is not ...

[quote user="vuki"]The best sound at the Show (to my ears, again) was in Hiraga/Melody room. [/quote]Hello Vuki!To my ears this speaker has a very smooth-sounding compression driver that hasn´t deserved being combined with a 15" cone ...

I was considering this unit to set up a modest high resolution files playback system in my main rig. I'd play the downloaded files on a portable computer to feed via USB this toy. A friend of mine is purchasing one of these from the Spanish distribut...

Just think back a couple of years where you read about claims of difference in the sound of cables and wondered if it could be true. Well, in many cases it isn't and those posting document the BS by making claims that simply do not describe what cabl...

I never had a chance to play with various preamplifiers in a very high-resolution system, but all the attempts that I've made with my system at home are constantly returning the same result - passive linestages seems to be the most accurate one....

In my audiophile past with poor resolution speakers (Spendor BC1) I used to listen to puristic recordings like Telarc with compressor to get the late reflections on audible levels. I felt that distorted imaging is better than no imaging. I loved east...

I borrowed a dcs 'Scarlatti' for the weekend and compared it to a Lavry 924 and the MSB Platinum, the DCS had the highest resolution of all three, not by a huge amount mind , particularly nice treble I thought, this was just solely with CD....

(1)Interesting that you omitted in your response the “insultingly-extended HF”. I feel it one of the biggest problems as luck of “transients from distance” people foolishly substrates with a presents of bogusly-supplement...

[quote user="oxric"]Romy, can you tell whether PurePower have identified precisely what made your units to perform as they do and whether that is now a standard feature of their off the shelf units? I am sure many here who might still purchase their ...

The Model Two's manual states:Note: It is recommended that the Monitor Output Level be set close to +18 dBu to providethe best combination of digital resolution and analog output stage performance.Surely, it's just too much of a coincidence that a re...

Teresa Goodwin from positive-feedback gave a birth to a drooling article about her admiration of SACD

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Did you try to listen and did detect sonic benefits from slaving your PC interface from you DAC? The Cat[/quote]Oh yes, I've tried this for sure. There is a difference between the three modes; DIG_IN, REFWCLK and MASTER. Th...

This all brings us back to fm_login's original question. (By the way, fm_login, what's your first name?) Speaking from first-hand experience, I've found that the best broadc...

Considering the minute amount of energy "created" (transformed) in a phono cartridge, perhaps some systems would truly benefit from geophysical orientation. Heck, in the days of expensive picture tube computer monitors there was a different tube for ...

Ha ha ha, but I understand what you mean. I don't have any interest on SACD or DVD-A, I don't feel I need more resolution than the LP or CD are giving me, nor any single channel more than the two and sometimes one I usually listen to. But curiosity f...

...But they are poorly implemented. Something to do with the 24/192 conversion. AFAIK nowadays most recordings are done 24/96, but it will eventually go up when higher resolution devices becomes the standard (I think about Prism, but theres more).Out...

[quote user="hagtech"] Interesting. I remember getting low contrast levels when using the asa 32 film (I think it was pan-x), but huge grey scales. Sometimes I shot in tri-x just to add drama. In the end though, my best prints were ...

The more I get out and listen to other systems the more I appreciate Macondo/DSET mainly for the life-like dynamics offered. I am also sure that many of the people that listen to my version are unable to grasp just how dynamic the sound is compared ...

Romy, I'm very proud that you are following me and commenting my achievements.I just don't understand why you are doing it in a manner that you are the one and others are idiots and morons. If you don't understand others, you can ask them questions. ...
